Question

x/2 - 2 = x/3+1 and x+18=2x-7​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 20 2. 25

Steps :

1. x/2-4/2 = x/3 + 3/3

x-4/2 = x+3/3

By cross multiplication :

3(x-4) = 2(x+3)

3x -12 = 2x + 8

3x - 2x = 12+ 8

x = 20

2. x+18=2x-7

7+18=2x-x

25 = x

x = 25

Hope it helps you :)

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 - 2 = x/3+1

= x/2 - x/3 = 1 + 2

= 3x - 2x / 6 = 3

= x/6 = 3

= x= 3×6

= x = 18
